Confessions Of A Google Glass Pervert And Other Hate Crimes

ARE you planning to wear Google Glasses? If you are, let it not go unsaid that you have found a way to look even sadder than the knobs smoking electronic cigarettes that light up at the end. You’ve turned your face into a mobile CCTV camera, gathering and accessing data on friends and strangers like a police state snitch.

Google is lobbying officials in at least three U.S. states to stop proposed restrictions on driving with headsets such as Google Glass, marking some of the first clashes over the nascent wearable technology. Some eight U.S. states are considering regulation of Google Glass, a tiny computer screen mounted in the corner of an eyeglass frame. Law enforcement and other groups are concerned that drivers wearing the devices will pay more attention to their email than the road, causing serious accidents.

Slocum was eagerly showing off the $1,500 computer glasses to fellow patrons at Molotov’s on Haight Street on Friday night, KPIX first reported… two women confronted her with choice curse words — and informed her that techies like her are “destroying the city” with that tech-fueled gentrification we’re hearing so much about — a man grabbed the computer glasses off of her face and ran out, she told news reporters…

Slocum gave chase and recovered her Glass, she says, but in the meantime someone inside the bar stole her purse, with her wallet and cellphone inside.
